Paul, I'll tackle the monitor portion of your question... The extensive graphics work I do requires laying out multiple large pages. I alternate between 1280/1024 and 1024/768 (for detailing). 1600x1280 makes text and numbers pretty 'squinty'; may only be of use looking at chart lines, but any accompanying figures will be hard on the eyes -- especially on anything less than a 21". You'll get some of this at 1280 too but getting a quality monitor with a high refresh (min. 60Hz, preferrably 75Hz) will help; good color accuracy helps, too. As a graphics pro, I'm even more careful with my monitor shopping than the computer itself. The best value I've seen so far with regards to price:quality is the Viewsonic line. I use the PT813 (21") which you can get for $1300-1500. On a tighter budget, you could get the G810 for $1100. If you're going to be looking at screens all day, don't skimp on the monitor quality. Your eyes will thank you a few years down the road; don't wreck them with a crappy monitor. If you go to pricewatch.com and type in PT813, you'll get the 10 lowest prices and dealer contact info across the country. -MrB
